I AM STILL YOUNG
On being questioned if he is studying hard, one of my close friends often replied, “I am so busy with exams that I don’t have time to study”. I could never sense any sense in his amazing sense of humor though. But the way he uttered with no expression on his face, we laughed at everything he said.
He often made us laugh even during stressful moments of exams..
How can we forget the days (or rather nights) when we had more things to put into our cranium than we actually could at that given juncture. I can’t believe gone are those testing moments of life. I guess we have grown old. But when I said the same thing-yes the same thing, “I guess we have grown old” to another good close friend of mine over the phone the other day. He said , “ ke bhako?”
“mota buro bhakcchuina hai..to bhayish hola.biya garekai cchuina, naniharu bhakai cchaina, theth ke ko buro hunthyo!”
(What’s your problem? May be you have aleardy become old, but I have not. I haven’t married as yet, not yet made children. How dare you think we are old?)
It was a good reminder from him. Thanks to my optimistic friends. Times may have changed but they are still same. Never let the negativity touch me….even though there is a huge ocean of it all around.
Just celebrated 26th B‘day a few days back. Only 26, not even one third (As per my target), still long way to go…so much to see, so much to do..so much to learn..
